The quiet coastal suburb of Port Chalmers has been thrust into the spotlight as the location of New Zealand's latest Lotto millionaire.

The winning numbers for this life-changing draw were 6, 12, 5, 24, 26, and 19, with a bonus ball of 3 and the all-important Powerball number 9. This jackpot comprises $5 million from Powerball and the remainder from Lotto First Division.

This latest win continues a remarkable streak for the Dunedin area. Just last week, a ticket sold at Gardens New World supermarket scooped a $5.5 million prize, demonstrating that lightning can indeed strike twice when it comes to lottery luck.

For those who've recently visited Windsor On the Spot Express in Port Chalmers, now is the time to double-check those tickets. Lotto officials are urging all players to verify their numbers, either in-store, on the MyLotto website, or via the MyLotto mobile app.

As news of the win spreads, the community of Port Chalmers is abuzz with speculation about the identity of the newest multi-millionaire in their midst. Will they step forward to claim their prize, or choose to remain anonymous? Only time will tell.

This latest jackpot serves as a reminder of the life-changing potential of lottery games, while also highlighting the importance of responsible play. As players across New Zealand dream of being the next big winner, the excitement of the draw continues to captivate the nation, one ticket at a time.
